Wall of Shame results-2011 season:Weeks one and two div 1-a college football

September 15, 2011

In week one of the 2011 college football season, 118 of the 120
football schools in div 1-a competed in seventy-eight different games.

The home team won 70 of those 78 games including 36 of the 38
games played against a div 1-aa opponent.

Note:Not one div
1-a team was a visitor against a div 1-aa opponent.

In week two of the 2011 college football season, 110 of the 120
football schools in div 1-a competed in sixty-five different games.

The home team won 48 of those 65 games including 20 of 20 games
played against a div 1-aa opponent.

Note:Not one div
1-a team was a visitor against a div 1-aa opponent.

In week three of the 2011 college football season (this week),
112 of the 120 football schools in div 1-a will be competing in sixty-four different games.Sixteen of those games will be against a div 1-aa opponent.Again, all
div 1-aa teams will be the visitor.

In week eleven, not one div 1-a school competes against a div
1-aa opponent.

In week twelve, as schools prepare for the next week’s season
ending major rivalry game,

Div 1-aa Furman plays at div 1-a Florida,

Div 1-aa Citadel plays at div 1-a South Carolina,

defending National Champion Auburn, scheduled div 1-aa Samford
(enrollment 4,715 in the Fall of 2010) at Auburn.Samford University is a private,
coeducational, Alabama Baptist-affiliated university located in Homewood, a suburb of Birmingham, Alabama.The 2010 freshman class at Samford averaged an SAT score of 1190 and 99% were in the top 10% of their high
school graduating class.

div 1-aa Georgia Southern plays at div 1-a Alabama, which very
well might be the #1 team in the country at that time.Georgia Southern has an
enrollment of 19,691 (Fall of 2010) and a freshman class averaging over 1100 on the SAT.

It should be noted that Alabama plays at Auburn in week thirteen.

In weeks thirteen, fourteen, and fifteen, not one div 1-a school
competes against a div 1-aa opponent.

The practice of a div 1-a football factory scheduling a home game
against a div 1-aa school is as shameful as one can get.Those schools doing
so will not get any respect from me nor will they get my vote in the national championship rankings.

The schools I am most impressed with are:

Utah State traveling to Auburn in week one, (Utah State lost)

Oregon traveling to Louisiana State (Oregon lost)

Minnesota traveling to USC in week one. (Minnesota lost)

Brigham Young traveling to Mississippi in week one, (Brigham Young
won)

Boise State traveling to Georgia in week one, (Boise State won)

Alabama traveling to Penn State in week two, (Alabama won)

Brigham Young traveling to Texas in week two, (Brigham Young lost)

Even though the visiting team lost four of these seven games,
I admire all seven visiting teams for their integrity (yes even winner Alabama) for having the gumption and sportsmanship
to challenge the best.

Brigham Young, Utah State and Boise State have been willing to
take on all opponents for years, but could never get a game scheduled against the Big Six conferences or a reasonable explanation
(Actually the Big Six conference folks were scared of losing.)
